Disma Dumps Craig Pillard

2019-01-29 by Brandon Scott EMERITUS | 37 Comments
New Jersey death/doom titans Disma have parted ways with the Nazi-sympathizing, pro-fascist, ex-Incantation frontman Craig Pillard, who has been a part of their line-up since 2009. The brief statement reads:

"Disma has parted ways with our vocalist, Craig Pillard. The decision was mutual and the reasons are no secret. We will move on and finish writing the next album and complete it when a suitable replacement is found.

"We thank you all for your support over the years!
"

This comes following a recent controversy surrounding Pillard's side-project Sturmführer, which was booked to play a pro-fascist metal festival in Italy. Pillard has a history of anti-Semitic behaviors and comments, most (in)famously a 2002 interview where he stated:

"I definitely see it getting worse unless “WE” start doing something about world Jewry/usury! We are going downhill fast with the media multi-cultural cesspool that is being subjected to every decent White person that turns on the “Electric Jew”!!!!! As long as “WE” keep getting force-fed this shit, and not do something about it, the faster “WE” DIE!!!!"

Pillard has yet to comment on these events.

You can always tell a Midwesterner by his/her “ope.” With that being said,

I'm from the Northeast, but still glad the sentiment is shared.

A damn shame. It'll be hard to find a proper replacement.

“The Electric Jew”; sounds like a Hasidic sludge band.




Jokes aside, I cringed hard when I read the quote.

He's not that special of a vocalist, so I don't think he'll be hard to replace at all.

First, what the hell is "ope"?
Second, I wanna hear a death metal song named "The Electric Jew" and I wanna hear it now.

Putting up with his bullshit for so many years, we can't say they didn't really try. I will always think of Craig Pillard as a very good death metal vocalist. Also, a complete and utter dick.

This being said, I just can't believe "Electric Jew" hasn't been taken yet.

So uh, having a Nazi for a vocalist is okay until it's inconvenient. Cool.

I mean good on them for ditching the Nazi but it's a pretty bad look that it took them a full decade to do so when he's been publicly a shithead since well before he even joined the band.

They should have never fired him in the first place. The retards from the antifa will still shit on them for being "the guys who worked with a nazi".

I mean, good riddance. But if everyone knew he was a nazi why did it take so long to fire him?

why, he's not writing any of the music.

clearly they didnt care that he was a shithead, it just became an inconvenience to keep him in the band.

I guess so. Not like this band was getting sympathy anyway.

Probably he thought his voice helped the music sound even better. Valid point.

Fuck me I was really expecting a new album with Pillard and the rest, now I'm less interested.

sure, i agree. i just cant take people seriously who say shit like "Man Craig was the reason i liked that band!" go listen to deathcore if you just want to jerk off the vocalist and ignore the rest of the band, tbh. band wouldnt be shit if it wasnt for the good riffs.
